Keeping Peeler Crabs In The Fridge Untill You Need To Use Them

Your Peeler crabs are at their very best for use as fishing bait when they start to get a hairline crack aroun their shell. At this point in time many anglers peel the crabs, wrap them in cling film and freeze them down for use at a later date. Sometimes crabs are ready for use at the same time as you are going fishing so they then make an excellent bait to use whilst still fresh. At certain times of year Fresh peeler crabs will outfish those that have been frozen. You are simply wasting your time fishing next to an angler who has fresh crabs on their hook. In order to have fresh peelr crab for their next fishing trip many anglers store there peelers with cracks in the shell in cat litter trays in the fridge. Storing peeler crabs at low temperatures halts the moulting process and allows you to keep peeler crabs that are ready for use for up to a week (sometimes longer).
